Richmond Monday Morning Tread Depth Check Before School Drop-Off

Monday school traffic in Richmond can turn slick fast after overnight moisture, and low tread makes stopping distances longer. Use a tread gauge or the penny test across the inside, center, and outside of each tire to spot uneven wear early. If one edge is wearing faster, that usually points to alignment or pressure issues that should be corrected before commute miles add up. A five-minute check now can help you avoid hydroplaning risk and premature tire replacement costs later this month.
